I was diagnosed in January '04, no history in our family. My gynocologist and I had been watching a mass that was fibroid tissue; we did mammograms, sonars, drew fluid nothing showed up. In November of '03 I noticed the mass had gotten harder & there was a dimpled area that had came up on my breast. I decided to wait until my yearly which was coming up in January (please do not wait when you find a lump or something changes about your breast see your doctor immediately). Biopsy showed cancer! We were shocked; that's when I knew I could not fight this on my own; I turned it all over to God. I knew he would give me the strength and mindset to win this battle. He put the right doctors, friends and family members there to see me through. I'm 6 1/2 years cancer free! Praise God!
